City Council elections for 2023 are already underway. Here’s what candidates in Harlem’s District 9 race have been working on so far.
Councilmember Kristin Richardson Jordan, who’s running to hold onto her seat, joined the New York State Nurses Association picket line in front of Mount Sinai hospital last week on day three of the brief walkouts over salary negotiations. She said the atmosphere was festive and empowering for the picketing nurses who are at the forefront of the healthcare system.
As far as campaigning for office goes, she said that she’s “really more focused on the work.” According to the NewMeanwhile, heavy hitter Assemblymember Inez Dickens officially launched her campaign for City Council last week with a packed house of clergy and church members at Ponty Bistro on Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Blvd. in Harlem. Dickens had served in the same seat back in 2006 and is planning a return at the request of community leaders.
She was joined by former Rep. Charles B. Rangel, Rev. Dr. Malcolm J. Byrd of Mother AME Zion Church, 116th St. Block Association President Candy Vasquez, founder and CEO of Street Corner Resources, Inc. Iesha Sekou, and many others. A host of speakers pledged their undying support for Dickens at the gathering.
